Many women who engage in sexual activity suffer from gynecological inflammation to varying degrees, among which cervicitis is a common gynecological inflammation. Although it does not have any impact on daily life, many women are always worried about it affecting their sexual life. So let's take a look at cervical inflammation. Will sexual intercourse cause bleeding?
Cervicitis is a common gynecological disease among women of childbearing age, which can be acute or chronic. Acute cervicitis often coexists with acute endometritis or acute vaginitis, but chronic cervicitis is more common.
When there is inflammation in the cervix, there is a possibility of bleeding during sexual intercourse. Cervicitis is mainly characterized by surface congestion, edema, brittle tissue, and relatively thin capillary walls on the surface. Therefore, during sexual activity, especially during intense sexual activity, contact bleeding may occur. Therefore, it is not recommended to have sexual intercourse while suffering from cervicitis to prevent worsening of the condition and menstrual disorders, which may be difficult to treat.
Firstly, cervical lesions need to be ruled out, so cervical screening should be performed. Cervical screening includes cervical liquid based thin-layer cytology examination and human papillomavirus examination. If both tests are negative, the possibility of cervical lesions can be ruled out, and only cervical inflammation treatment is needed. If it is only a simple cervicitis, medication treatment or physical therapy such as laser and microwave can be used.
